The commercial arm of a leading research institution wished to evaluated a promising new scaffold technology for potential investment. We assisted in a structured process of identifying a wide range of potential opportunities that included autologous and allogeneic cell therapies for tissue repair and regeneration. These were assessed for market potential and ease of development through to a product in order to rank the opportunities on their attractiveness for investment. Further detailed analysis was then done on the top ranking opportunities to assess market size, and likely cost and timescales through to a commercial product. This involved both primary analysis using our network of clinicians and other stakeholders, and secondary data obtained from desk research. We also reviewed likely regulatory routes for the different opportunities ranging from products classed as medicines, through to biologics, combination devices and medical devices. The route clearly impacted heavily on the likely cost of taking a product to market.
